Keith Veenhuizen

Keith Veenhuizen is an Associate Professor of Physics at Lebanon Valley College, specializing in laser-induced crystallization in glass for photonic applications. His research focuses on fabricating single-crystal architectures (e.g., lithium niobate, LaBGeO₅) within glass matrices using femtosecond lasers, with applications in optical interconnects and integrated circuits.

Research Interests:

• Electricity and Magnetism
• Optics
• Solid State Physics
• Experimental Physics
• Ferroelectric domain engineering
• 3D laser fabrication

Selected Publications highlight his work on crystal growth dynamics, glass composition effects, and nanocrystal stoichiometry. His lab collaborates on characterizing materials with techniques like Raman spectroscopy, EBSD, and piezoresponse force microscopy.

Collaborations: Works closely with Himanshu Jain and Volkmar Dierolf in multidisciplinary studies linking physics and materials science.
